Aww man, hilarious!
Funniest thing I ever seen was Pryor’s best on Pearl Harbor.
Rest In Peace, Richard!
Not a LOT different than what we got now.
Pryor is likeable...
He would make a lot better one than the clown we have now.

He was so talented. Rest in peace, Richard.
OH ES I got that scene on Richard Pryor show seriously that is funny
OHH I hear recent interview with his widow Jennifer Lee Pryor this show never made it air too groundbreaking to un PC
I understand somebody writing script bring Richard life to major movie screens
“Yo blood.”
His answers are better than an Obama presser for sure.
And Pryor never really got a comic film worthy of him...one that showed him at his best (excepting his stand up films). Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams did. Steve Martin did. But Pryor’s post mainstream popularity (1976 or so) films that were supposed to be comedies range from mildly tolerable to horrible.
Pryor did more to improve race relations in this country than any civil rights activist.
He made fun of black culture as well as white culture, and got blacks and whites to laugh at and with each other.
I occasionally post one of his greatest routines, when there’s a thread about somebody complaining about how many blacks are in prison.
Richard provided the perfect retort.
